Dynamics and crystal chemistry of tellurites. II. Composition- and temperature-dependence of the Raman spectra of x(Tl2O)+(1−x) Te2O glasses: evidence for a phase separation? Original Research Article

Immiscibility effects are suggested to be inherent in tellurite glasses with weak (low valence) cations. This hypothesis is used to explain the structural evolution of the x(Tl2O)+(1−x)Te2O glass system as a function of the x value and during temperature-induced crystallisation processes. The results of Raman measurements support the hypothesis.
